Mitaka

ABOUT US 

You probably know by now that Mitaka Motocross Pistons are the most competitively priced pistons in the U.K. As a result, they are also the biggest selling!

What we would like to explain is why they are priced so competitively and why you should not assume that by paying more for another brand of piston, you are automatically getting a better piston. The price you pay is influenced not only by the production costs, but by the number of people who have handled the product before you receive it.

Firstly, you should understand that very few motorcycle manufacturers have ever made their own pistons. Just like tyres, batteries, chains etc., they are bought in from a specialist producer. To further complicate matters, piston manufacturers do not make the rings! Mitaka use either TP or Riken rings, (same as genuine).

This produces a supply chain where each person or company who handles the product makes a profit and increases the price to the final "end user", you the rider. By choosing a Mitaka piston, you are buying at the end of the shortest supply chain!
